Note of thanks

I work with a guy on some days, who's leaving his town for the booming metropolis of FW to attend school here. He already has plans/apartment near the school, but no job. I asked around and found the MR knew of some jobs where he works -- manual grunt work, but work nonetheless.

While this guy isn't guaranteed anything, it's nice to know that there is opportunity here and that he might get "lucky" early on while here.

Thanks MR for helping him, for what it's worth.

Unlike my nephew here in FW who needs work, I asked about this other guy who has strong work ethics and who will do the job very well -- perhaps.

Thanks again!

I asked Monkeyjack, but ... summertime is phase out time for his hires, so no luck there ... bummer.

funny note left for me one day

Accussed

Iran charges an Iranian-American with espionage. Yeah, she was selling the US secrets on Iran's technology ...

ha ha ha ha ha

Yep, after 700 years, the "religion" is still corrupted and corrupt, and her attempts to sell the secrets of subjegation, mistreatment, violence, ignorance will not go unpunished.

waving ham in his hand

a poorly cut chunk of ham was much like half a [male member's more notable external part], but it raise a great deal of humor as apparently, it was a "smart" thing to wave it as groin level. He also shook it and called to people to see his discovery. 'Playing with his ham at work' is not how you'd like to be remembered.

I've got a nickname, thankfully it has nothing to do with playing with his own ham.

tides ebb

At work, when the business will eventually pick up, the teens are leaving like migratory birds. Well, no wonder! Anyway, I was thinking about the actual "management" side of things and have some ideas on retaining quality persons for as long as possible until they go do something real with their lives. In one case, a great guy is leaving for college. I certainly wouldn't postpone that, but I would try to find a way to get him work where he's going. He's coming to my hometown. After two years with the compnay, he discovered the disparities in persons and the somewhat ambiguous promotions and salary increases and caps. For this reason, he was certainly disinclined to seek re-employment with the company at a FW branch.

He's a good man, sad to see him go. It will be great to see him accomplish his goals, even if they change from what he wants to do now.

I see things at work in terms of efficiency, and more utilization of personnel. I have also seen the too-laborsome process for inventory and cash control. While it may be the one, "best" method, it's too long and stupid to be efficient. I will submit in writing, on a time when I can/am willing to dedicate hours to inventory strategies. I still plan to seek another place, but will get at high on the ladder as I can before I go.
